I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 56: Sudden Wealth

Translator: 549690339

Seeing Han Yi’s puzzled expression, He Fangwei continued to explain.

“The three major sects, Tai Xu Sect, Southern Dipper Divine Palace, Chi Xiao Sword Sect. Among them, our Xuandan Sect is backed by Tai Xu Sect, and the Blood God Sect is backed by the Southern Dipper Divine Palace.”

“The Silver Light Orb that you sold earlier, was produced by Southern Dipper Divine Palace. Among the Blood God Sect, this set of magical tools is quite popular.”

“And the origin of this conflict traces back to the Immortals-Demons War four years ago.”

“The birthplace of the Demon Cave is closest to Tai Xu Sect. In the Immortals-Demons War, the Tai Xu Sect suffered the most damage. Even two of the great cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage died. Being one of the three major sects, the Southern Dipper Divine Palace had some considerations naturally.”

“The big brother probes, the little brother takes action.”

“They certainly choose the soft persimmon to pinch.”

“This is why the Blood God Sect is making life difficult for the Xuandan Sect this time.”

“Strictly speaking, it is the Xuandan Sect’s bad luck to encounter this.”

After saying these, He Fangwei closed his mouth and said no more.

A thoughtful look appeared in Han Yi’s eyes. He committed all the information he just heard to heart and when he had a final question, he asked it at the perfect moment when He Fangwei was willing to speak.

“Master He, I have another question. Now that both sects have fought and both have suffered casualties, so what do you think will be the direction of the war next?”

“Will it evolve into a full-scale sectarian war?”

This question is Han Yi’s biggest concern.

Whatever happens to the three major sects, he doesn’t care. Why the Blood God Sect cultivators have high combat power, he doesn’t care either. That’s not his sect.

But how the Xuandan Sect fares in the future relates to his own safety, is his main concern.

“I heard that our Sect Master has already gone to seek help from the Tai Xu Sect, but there is no result yet, so I don’t know what will happen.”

He Fangwei shook his head.

Hearing this, Han Yi frowned. He Fangwei still couldn’t answer his question.

But with a turn of his thoughts, he relaxed and didn’t dwell on this.

Presumably, with the level of information He Fangwei can access, he must know so much. As for the future direction of the sect, possibly many of the Foundation Establishment Elders in the sect are unclear, let alone him.

Han Yi initially thought that backed by a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, Jiulong shop could know more. Now it seems, not necessarily so.

“Thank you, Master He, I have learned a lot today.”

Han Yi stood up, thanked him with clasped hands.

No matter what, He Fangwei’s explanation cleared up many of Han Yi’s doubts. Expressing thanks is natural.

“You’re too kind, friend.”

Half an hour later.

Han Yi walked out of the Jiulong store, with an extra four hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones, more than two thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, and eight first-order Spiritual Talismans in his storage bag.

First-order medium-grade Spiritual Talisman, God Movement Talisman*3.

First-order medium-grade Spiritual Talisman, Golden Light Talisman*3.

First-order top-grade Spiritual Talisman, Protecting Body Talisman*!.

First-order excellent-grade Talisman, Yin Thunder Talisman*i.

Among these eight spiritual talismans, the excellent-grade talisman, Yin Thunder Talisman, cost him two hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones, and the other seven cost him more than five thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.

If it were in the past, Han Yi wouldn’t dare to spend so much.

This time is different. On one hand, he has money, a lot of money. On the other hand, he experienced the ferocity of the outer sect fight and realized the boost a Spiritual Talisman gives in actual combat. That cold young man at the eighth stage of Qi Cultivation who could catch up with him, Han Yi guessed based on what he saw at the time, was using a speed-enhancing Spiritual Talisman.

So, he spent twenty-five thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones in one go, spending a large sum to buy eight first-order Spiritual Talismans.

According to He Fangwei’s introduction, a first-order excellent-grade Spiritual Talisman poses a certain threat even to those at the peak of Qi Cultivation.

And the top-quality spiritual talisman, protecting body talisman, can block attacks from an average Qi cultivation level eight or nine.

Han Yi was both defensive and offensive.

Moreover, he had also obtained a top-quality magical artifact level protective inner armor, plus a protecting body talisman, more layers of insurance, which made him feel even safer.

After coming out of the Nine Dragons shop, Han Yi’s face was taut and without any abnormalities, but within him, joy bloomed.

Magnificent wealth, in its truest sense.

Aside from the spiritual talismans, he had over four hundred middle-grade spirit stones on him; even many disciples in the eighth or ninth level of Qi cultivation phase within the Xuandan Sect couldn’t necessarily have this many spirit stones.

This sum of money was enough for Han Yi to practice and reach the eighth or ninth stage of Qi cultivation.

Moreover, on this trip, besides this immense wealth, he also learned a lot of news, which can be said to be full of gains.

Han Yi returned to Little Lingxu Peak and began to practice.

Having spirit stones, he temporarily stopped alchemy and first raised his realm deficiency to the latter stage of Qi cultivation before considering honing his skills.

And this time, the spirit stone he used for practicing was no longer low-grade spirit stones but mid-grade ones.

At market prices, a hundred low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to a middle-grade spirit stone, so one can imagine how precious a middle-grade spirit stone is.

Generally speaking, mid-grade spirit stones are only used by cultivators in the ninth level of Qi cultivation for their cultivation, especially for their breakthrough from the peak of Qi cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage requires a lot of spirit energy. Low-grade spirit stones no longer suffice while middle-grade spirit stones have magical effects.

Furthermore, Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators use mid-grade spirit stones for their daily cultivation and transactions.

Low- grade spirit stones are grey and slightly smaller than fists.

And mid-grade spirit stones, are grayish-white with a hint of silver gloss. The silver gloss is not much and does not stand out at first glance, but its essence is far superior to low-grade spirit stones.

The size of a mid-grade spirit stone is slightly smaller than that of a low-grade spirit stone, it looks insignificant when placed in the palm of your hand.

In the quiet room, Han Yi sat cross-legged, first closing his eyes to meditate, calming his mind after a quarter of an hour, and then lifted a middle-grade spirit stone and placed it in the palm of his hand.

Next, he began to operate his techniques and began to practice.

As usual, a warm current is absorbed into his body from the spirit stone in his hand.

But this warm current, once it enters his body, made Han Yi tremble all over.

Essence, such essence that seemed to nourish even his divine consciousness.

Boom!

With this warm current, the mana within his body surged like a tide, frolicking and flowing endlessly.

Han Yi quickly gathered his spirit and wholeheartedly guided the mana within his body, constantly filling, compressing, and purifying his internal mana.

Three days quietly passed.

Three days later, Han Yi heard a crisp sound, opened his eyes, first lowered his head to look at the palm of his hand, and that piece of mid-grade spirit stone had lost its spiritual energy, shattering on the spot.

Following that.

He then felt a difference in his body than before, at a slight sense, the mana in his body flowed automatically, more refined and heavier mana.

Even the volume of the mana was nearly 10% larger than three days ago.

While this less than 10% volume increase might not seem much, bear in mind that this happened in just three days. In just three days, such a dramatic increase is nothing short of bliss for Han Yi.

[Realm: Qi Cultivation Stage Six (25/100)].

Display on his Proficiency Panel also confirmed the improvement he felt was no illusion.

Not long ago, his realm was only 21/100. After the battle in Tianqing City, the progress slowly advanced to 22/100. During this brief three-day cultivation period, it jumped from 22/100 to 25/100, advancing a full three percentage points.

If he continues to use mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation in the future, and takes into account that the body’s adaptation to mana slows down in the latter stages of cultivation, according to Han Yi’s previous experience, it should take no more than a year to cultivate to the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage Six.

He originally planned to take three to four years to reach the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage Six, and now it seems he has saved himself three to four times the time.

He is, to put it mildly, ecstatically happy..
